| Summary: | This national level research, situated in an R&D project funded by the Science and Education Ministry, has the following goals: 1. To diagnose the levels of audiovisual competence in the chosen samples of students of Nursery Education, Primary Education, Compulsory Secondary Education and Optional Secondary Education. 2. To detect in the same samples of students the needs and deficiencies in every dimension of the audiovisual communication competence in the digital environment (language, technology, ideology and values, production and programming, reception and audiences, aesthetics). Some online questionnaires (with reliability coefficients from 0,61 to 0,787) were designed. The data extracted from these questionnaires were processed using the software package SPSS, version 18.0. The results obtained from a sample of 2143 students show that an important part of the students are media competent, i.e. they achieve an acceptable level in accordance with the questionnaires applied. Contents associated with audiovisual competence and digital competence, both included in the basic competence «Information Processing and Digital Competence» of the current curriculum for compulsory education, converge on media competence. The dimensions and indicators of media competence must, therefore, be articulated with the different knowledge areas and with the different components of the curriculum: objectives, contents, methodology, activities and assessment procedures in the teaching and learning process of the different levels of nursery, primary and secondary education.
